Hollywoodbets Greyville
Race 2 – 15:17
1600m – Asiye Phambili Maiden Plate
4 – Pied Piper
Breeding: Potala Palace – Follow The Piper by Tiger Ridge (USA)
Trainer: Wengesai Masawi
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 57.0kg
Draw: 4 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
He was meant to run at Hollywoodbets Scottsville in the last two weeks but had no luck with draws. He is doing very well at home and jumps from a good draw of four. Hollywood Racing-retained Jockey Sean Veale retains the ride, and he has an each way chance.
Winning Form Comment: Improved in second run and should have more to come. Consider.

Race 2 – 15:17
1600m – Asiye Phambili Maiden Plate
5 – Director
Breeding: Master Of My Fate – Villa Paloma (IRE) by Rock Of Gibraltar (IRE)
Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: S’manga Khumalo
Wgt: 57.0kg
Draw: 5 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
He has been a bit disappointing in his work at home. The stable fitted him with blinkers and his work was improved. We are hoping that the headgear does the trick at the races. If all goes according to plan, he is capable of finishing in the placings.
Winning Form Comment: Placed in last two runs. Strong chance if seeing out the extra 200m.

Race 5 – 17:05
1400m – Brevan Plaatjies & Mxolisi Mbuto A Stakes
2 – Imilenzeyokududuma
Breeding: Dynasty – Chevauchee (AUS) by High Chaparral (IRE)
Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 61.5kg
Draw: 2 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 14/1
He needed his last start over 1600m on this course. He is doing very well at home; his work has been good, and he is a happy horse. The stable would have preferred a race over 1600m. However, we are expecting him to bounce back to his best and he has an each way chance.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:114. Better than last two runs. Can show.

Breeding: Captain Of All – Pepperdine by Trippi (USA)
Trainer: Peter Muscutt
Jockey: Serino Moodley
Wgt: 54.0kg
Draw: 5 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 3/1
He has shown good improvement since his encouraging comeback run. His work has been solid, and he is doing well. It is competitive field with numerous horses having winning chances. Winning Form-sponsored Jockey Serino Moodley rides and he is one of the leading contenders.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:98. The 2nd horse in latest has come out and won since. Respect.

1 – Isikwishikwishi
Breeding: Alado (GB) – Varifast by Var (USA)
Trainer: Alyson Wright
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 53.5kg
Draw: 1 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
He has finished second in his last two starts on the polytrack. The son of Alado takes a step up in class. However, he jumps from pole position and Hollywood Racing-retained Jockey Sean Veale knows him well. He is fit, well and is expected to produce another honest effort.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:83. Has finished close-up behind the winner when partnered with Veale. Respect.

Race 7 – 18:15
1200m – Gareth van Zyl Class 4 (F & M)
8 – Ayuwi Yuwi
Breeding: Captain Of All – Neurose (BRZ) by Dubai Dust (USA)
Trainer: Garth Puller
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 60.5kg
Draw: 8 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
She has been running on over 1000m and the stable have opted to step her up to 1200m. She had a mouth injury after hitting her head on the side of the gates last time and it has healed up nicely. She is drawn awkwardly in barrier eight but will be running on and we can expect a bold effort from her.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:83. Had excuses last time. Steps up to 1200m and can show with luck.

Race 8 – 18:50
1200m – Wilgerbosdrift & Mauritzfontein Class 4 (F & M)
9 – Ubukhwebezana
Breeding: Vercingetorix – Felicity Flyer by Noordhoek Flyer
Trainer: MJ Odendaal
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 9 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 3/1
She produced an encouraging comeback run over 1400m on this track. She is doing well at home and she has a good turn of foot. The daughter of Vercingetorix will be switched off near the rear of the field from the widest draw and will be running on. Although she is at her best over 1400m, she can win a race of this nature.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:80. Fair latest run despite awkward start. Fitter now and should be competitive.

Race 9 – 19:25
1000m – Hollywood Racing Class 4
6 – Phutulicious
Breeding: Fire Away (USA) – Centimes (GB) by Shamardal (USA)
Trainer: Alyson Wright
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 57.0kg
Draw: 6 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1
He has been overracing in the early stages of his races and the stable have opted to drop him to 1000m. He is fit and well heading into this contest. We are hoping to see him switch off early and running on at the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:85. Was not disgraced last time. Tries minimum trip and could improve to find a place.
